I would make sure it has an open port for your video card.

I think you could build the PC for less.

It looks like there is an open PCIe slot for your graphics card; whether the PSU can handle it is another question.

Keep in mind, though, that HP computers might require a proprietary PSU, not any old off-the-shelf PSU.

Well you might not be able to build it for less concidering it comes with a printer and monitor, but that price is probably after some mail in rebates and so rebates from siging up with someone (like aol) check into that first but depending on what you want to do with your PC it might be better to spend a little more cash and build one (if you plan on gaming or graphic design) but if it's mainly for casual use then that seems like a great deal.
